11:58 PM: Colon easily defends 8th AD Dem primary challenge
Incumbent Rep. Pedro Colon has bested his challengers in the 8th AD Dem primary, capturing 55 percent of the vote.
Laura Manriquez, who tried unsuccessfully to knock Colon off the ballot over his nomination papers, trailed with less than half of Colon's showing at 26 percent. Jose Guzman, who received support from former state Sen. Tom Reynolds's Clean Sweep PAC, finished with 19 percent.
